I had hoped to build this into a spare track bike, but decided to go a different direction. This bike has only 4695 original miles and I have a title. Very clean and could be easily put on the street. However, it has issues. It still has original tires.
The fairings are in good to excellent shape. However right side is cracked. Previous owner said it tipped over in the garage and the damage appears to be consistent with a tip over. No rash. All lights & turn signals work. Battery is recent.
No major rust. A few surface rust areas on the kick stand but that's about it.
Rear wheel appears to have a ding in the rim.
All fluids have been drained and bike has been partially disassembled for inspection. I can reassemble the bike or leave it as is for your inspection. Chain & sprockets are original and in good shape.
Gas Tank: Inside of tank had rust. The rust has been removed and prepped for seal coating. Tank has a minor dent. Exterior paint is very good.
Carburetors: 2 of the 4 are excellent but will need to have gaskets & the low speed jets replaced. The other 2 carbs are questionable because an earlier attempt to replace the low speed jets resulted in a stuck jet in one and a broken socket in the other. (See Pictures) Floats and other components are in excellent condition.
Three of the 4 cylinders have excellent compression. The fourth one leaks and has low compression. New oil and filter.
It's a very clean bike. If it doesn't sell, I may part it out so let me know if you have any interest. Looking at the part prices on eBay it's worth much more in pieces.
Photos are recent pictures of the bike before and after disassembly. It's a real classic with extremely low miles for its age. Going thru the bike I'm convinced that's the actual mileage. Some say this bike saved Honda from going under. Great winter project. Feel free to ask questions.
Thanks for looking, Mike
